I agree! She makes the most beautiful quilts. The quilting you did is great too.

The quilt captures the warmth of Indian summer just when the leaves are starting turn but the weather hasn't.

Karla chose the panto Falling Leaves II for the quilting. http://www.quiltscomplete.com/Produc...-SC-FL-12.aspx I recommended King Tut varigated thread in the color Autumn Days which had all the main colors of this quilt in it. Batting is Warm and Natural and the backing is 3 soft cozy flannels also with an autumn theme.
